Germany: Migrant Crime Wave, Police Capitulate

According to a classified document, the German government now estimates that Germany will receive as many as 1.5 million asylum seekers in 2015, including 920,000 in the last quarter of 2015 alone. With family reunifications, the actual number of asylum seekers could swell to more than 7 million. Separately, German authorities now estimate that at least 290,000 migrants and refugees have entered the country without being registered.

"The behavior of these highly delinquent youths towards police officers can be characterized as aggressive, disrespectful and condescending. ... When they are arrested, they resist and assault [police officers]. The youths have no respect for state institutions." — Confidential report, leaked to Die Welt.

In Berlin, a classified police report revealed that a dozen Arab clans hold reign over the city's criminal underworld. The report says the clans, which are dedicated to dealing drugs, robbing banks and burglarizing department stores, run a "parallel justice system" in which they resolve disputes among themselves with mediators from other crime families. If the state gets involved, the clans use cash payments or threats of violence to influence witnesses.

"For years the policy has been to leave the population in the dark about the actual crime situation... The citizens are being played for fools." — André Schulz, head of the Association of Criminal Police.

According to the President of the German Police Union, "In Berlin or in the north of Duisburg there are neighborhoods where colleagues hardly dare to stop a car — because they know that they'll be surrounded by 40 or 50 men." These attacks amount to a "deliberate challenge to the authority of the state — attacks in which the perpetrators are expressing their contempt for our society."

Asylum seekers are driving a surge in violent crime in cities and towns across Germany. German authorities, however, are downplaying the lawlessness, apparently to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiment.

A confidential police report leaked to a German newspaper reveals that a record-breaking 38,000 asylum seekers were accused of committing crimes in the country in 2014. Analysts believe this figure — which works out to more than 100 a day — is only the tip of the iceberg, as many crimes are either not resolved or not reported.

The current spike in crime — including rapes, sexual and physical assaults, stabbings, home invasions, robberies, burglaries and drug trafficking — comes amid a record-breaking influx of refugees from Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the Western Balkans.

According to a classified document obtained by the German newspaper, Bild, the government now estimates that Germany will receive as many as 1.5 million asylum seekers in 2015, including 920,000 in the last quarter of 2015 alone. This figure is nearly double the previous estimate, from August, which was 800,000 for all of 2015. By comparison, Germany received 202,000 asylum seekers in all of 2014.

The document warns that with family reunifications, the actual number of asylum seekers could swell to more than seven million, based on the assumption that individuals whose applications are approved will bring between four and eight additional family members to Germany.

Separately, German authorities now estimate that at least 290,000 migrants and refugees have entered the country without being registered and whose whereabouts are unknown.

According to the latest UN figures, of the 579,617 refugees/migrants who have entered the EU by sea so far this year, 69% have been adult men. Above, some of the hundreds of migrants who arrived in Munich on September 12, 2015.

With more than 10,000 new migrants entering Germany every day, observers warn that crime in the country is sure to snowball. Experts say that many of the migrants will never be integrated into German society because they lack even the most basic skills to find work in the country. Some are warning of the establishment of parallel societies across Germany in which shiftless migrants are sustained by a volatile mix of taxpayer-funded social welfare handouts and crime.

Migrants are becoming increasingly unruly in their disrespect for German law. On September 11, for example, two asylum seekers from Libya attempted to shoplift items from a Netto-Markt grocery store in Freiberg, a town in the state of Saxony. After the men were caught with the merchandise by a security guard, they became violent and managed to escape.

A short while later, the men returned to the store with a machete and pepper spray, and began threatening the employees. When police arrived at the scene, the men attacked the officers, who fired warning shots into the air. One of the migrants was arrested; the other escaped.

Within hours, the detained man — a 27-year-old being housed at taxpayer expense in a refugee shelter in Freiberg — was released without charge. The next morning, the two men returned to the grocery store, pulled a knife and threatened to behead the employees.

According to local media, public prosecutors instructed police to release the men because they did not use force during the initial act of shoplifting. "The deeds could not be classified under the offense of robbery or predatory theft because the accused did not use violence or the threat of violence to carry out their act," a spokesperson said. In any event, he added, the men do not need to be detained because, as asylum seekers, they do not pose a significant risk of flight from justice.

Freiberg Mayor Sven Krüger, of the center-left Social Democrats, publicly denounced the judicial inaction. "Words fail me," he said. "I have no comprehension of our justice system; it released the offender. Yesterday he threatened employees and police. We cannot protect our citizens in this way, and the work of the police is wasted effort."

Local media report that the incident at the Netto-Markt is not an isolated event: that acts of shoplifting committed by migrants are becoming a fact of daily life in Freiberg, and the shoplifters seldom face consequences.

In early September, a supermarket cashier in the town was punched in the face by migrants after she tried to stop a brawl between asylum seekers inside her store. The manager of another store said that he has been verbally abused and spat at by migrants, and has been forced to hire a private security service to reduce losses from shoplifting by migrants.

In Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany, police say they are helpless to confront a spike in crimes committed by young migrants from North Africa. Hamburg is now home to more than 1,000 so-called unaccompanied minor migrants (minderjährige unbegleitete Flüchtlinge, MUFL), most of whom live on the streets and apparently engage in all manner of criminal acts.

A confidential report, leaked to the German newspaper, Die Welt, reveals that Hamburg police have effectively capitulated to the migrant youths, who outnumber and overwhelm them. The document states:

"Even the smallest issue can quickly lead to aggressive offensive and defensive behavior. The youths come together in groups to stand up for each other and also to fight each other...

"When dealing with others, the youths are often irreverent and show a lack of respect for local values ​​and norms. The youths congregate mainly in the downtown area, where they can be seen almost every day. During the daytime, they hang out mostly in the St. George district, but in the evenings they carry out their activities in the Binnenalster, Flora- and Sternschanzenpark and St. Pauli [all across central Hamburg]. They usually appear in groups; up to 30 youths have been observed on weekend nights in St. Pauli. The behavior of these highly delinquent youths towards police officers can be characterized as aggressive, disrespectful and condescending. They are signaling that they are indifferent to police measures...

"The youths quickly become conspicuous, mainly in the domains of pickpocketing or street robbery. They also break into homes and vehicles, but the crimes are often reported as trespassing or vandalism because the youths are just looking for a place to sleep. Shoplifting for obtaining food is commonplace. When they are arrested, they resist and assault [the police officers]. The youths have no respect for state institutions."

The paper reports that German authorities are reluctant to deport the youths back to their countries of origin because they are minors. As a result, as more unaccompanied minors arrive in Hamburg each day, the crime problem not only persists, but continues to grow.

Meanwhile, in a bid to save the city's tourism industry, Hamburg police have launched a crackdown on purse-snatchers. More than 20,000 purses — roughly 55 a day — are stolen in the city each year. According to Norman Großmann, the director of the federal police inspector's office in Hamburg, 90% of the purses are stolen by males between the ages of 20 and 30 who come from North Africa or the Balkans.

In Stuttgart, police are fighting a losing battle against hundreds of asylum seekers from Gambia who are openly trafficking drugs on the city's streets. At the same time, migrant gangs from North Africa are dedicated to the fine art of pickpocketing. Police say that one out of four migrants housed at a refugee shelter in nearby Remstal have been accused of theft.

In Dresden, migrants from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have effectively taken control over the iconic Wiener Platz, a large public square in front of the central train station. There they sell drugs and pickpocket passersby, usually with impunity. Police raids on the square have become a game of whack-a-mole, with a never-ending number of migrants replacing those who have been arrested.

A local newspaper editorial expressed shock at the state of affairs in downtown Dresden:

"The central train station is normally a city's business card, at the same time it is also a magnet for dubious activities...

"But a visit to the site yesterday leaves one shuddering: desperate businesses, intimidated employees, shocked passersby — dealers selling their drugs in front of their eyes. This has created a climate of fear — and it must be swiftly countered.

"It cannot be that a gang of young men lays claim to an entire area to operate their illegal business. The Wiener Platz is a major entry point to Dresden.... Thousands of people — commuters and tourists — walk along there every day. They should be able to feel safe...

In Berlin, a classified police report leaked to the German newspaper, Bild, revealed that a dozen Arab clans hold reign over the city's criminal underworld. The report says the clans, which are dedicated to dealing drugs, robbing banks and burglarizing department stores, run a "parallel justice system" in which they resolve disputes among themselves with mediators from other crime families. If the German state gets involved, the clans use cash payments or threats of violence to influence witnesses.

Separately, a politically incorrect police report leaked to the German newspaper, Der Tagesspiegel, revealed that more than 80% of the violent crimes registered in Berlin are committed by non-Germans.

At the same time, thousands of police officers in Berlin are no longer being allowed to carry guns because of cuts to the budget for mandatory firearms training.

In Duisburg, spiraling levels of violent crime perpetrated by immigrants from the Middle East and the Balkans are turning parts the city into "areas of lawlessness" — areas that are becoming de facto "no-go" zones for police, according to a confidential police report leaked to the German newsmagazine, Der Spiegel.

Duisburg, a key industrial city that has a total population of around 500,000, is home to an estimated 60,000 Muslims, mostly from Turkey. This total makes it one of the most Islamized cities in Germany. In recent years, however, thousands of Bulgarians and Romanians (including Sinti and Roma "gypsies") have flocked to Duisburg. This combination has been creating a volatile ethno-religious cauldron.

According to Der Spiegel:

"There are districts where immigrant gangs are taking over entire metro trains for themselves. Native residents and business people are being intimidated and silenced. People taking trams during the evening and nighttime describe their experiences as 'living nightmares.' Policemen, and especially policewomen, are subject to 'high levels of aggressiveness and disrespect.'

"In the medium term, nothing will change, according to the report. The reasons for this: the high rate of unemployment, the lack of job prospects for immigrants without qualifications for the German labor market and ethnic tensions among migrants. The Duisburg police department now wants to reinforce its presence on the streets and track offenders more consistently.

"Experts have warned for some time that problem neighborhoods could become no-go areas. The president of the German Police Union, Rainer Wendt, told Spiegel Online years ago: 'In Berlin or in the north of Duisburg there are neighborhoods where colleagues hardly dare to stop a car — because they know that they'll be surrounded by 40 or 50 men.' These attacks amount to a 'deliberate challenge to the authority of the state — attacks in which the perpetrators are expressing their contempt for our society.'"

The steady flow of leaked police reports seems to indicate that police are losing patience with the state-sponsored multicultural policies that are making Germany increasingly more unsafe.

German authorities have repeatedly been accused of underreporting the true scale of the crime problem in the country. For example, according to the head of the association of criminal police (Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter, BDK), André Schulz, up to 90% of the sex crimes committed in Germany in 2014 do not appear in the official statistics. He said:

"For years the policy has been to leave the [German] population in the dark about the actual crime situation... The citizens are being played for fools. Rather than tell the truth, they [government officials] are evading responsibility and passing blame onto the citizens and the police."

Schultz also warned that, based on past experience, fully 10% of the migrant population will end up being involved in criminal activity, including theft, assault or drugs. This implies that with the massive influx of migrants in 2015, Germany is effectively importing 100,000 additional criminals into the country.

Meanwhile, crime reports use all manner of politically correct euphemisms to describe foreign suspects without using the terms "migrant" or "Muslim migrant."

On October 7, for example, an 86-year-old woman had her purse stolen by a man with "dark hair" (dunklen Haaren) in Bad Urach. Also on October 7, three "southerners" (Südländer) robbed a clothing store in Fellbach.

On October 6, an 89-year-old woman in Darmstadt was robbed by two men who spoke German with an "Eastern European accent" (osteuropäischem Akzent). On October 5, a 72-year-old man was robbed by three people with a "brownish skin" (bräunliche Haut) in Stuttgart.

On October 2, a 64-year-old woman had her purse stolen by two women with "black hair" (schwarze Haare) in Gießen. On October 1, a 24-year-old man was robbed at knifepoint by two "dark skinned" (dunkelhäutig) men in Wiesloch.

On September 11, a 16-year-old girl was raped by a man with "a dark skin type" (dunklem Hauttyp) close to a refugee shelter in the Bavarian town of Mering. On August 30, a 21-year-old man was robbed by two men speaking "broken German" (gebrochenem Deutsch) in Karlsruhe.

On August 30, a 24-year-old man was assaulted by a man with a "southern appearance" (südländischem Aussehen) at a gas station in Ludwigsburg. On August 30, a 33-year-old man was attacked with pepper spray and robbed by two men with a "southern appearance" (südländisches Erscheinungsbild) in Stuttgart. On August 29, four Germans were assaulted by a man with "short dark hair, dark eyes, southern appearance" (südländisches Aussehen) in Überlingen, a city on the northern shore of Lake Constance.

On August 29, a 21-year-old man was robbed by two men with "brown skin color" (braune Hautfarbe) in Heidelberg. On August 28, a woman with "long black hair" (schwarzen langen Haaren) stole 1,000 euros from a 95-year-old man and a 93-year-old woman in Sigmaringen, a town in Baden-Württemberg.

On June 5, a 30-year-old Somali asylum seeker called "Ali S" was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison for attempting to rape a 20-year-old woman in Munich. Ali had previously served a seven-year sentence for rape, and had been out of prison for only five months before he attacked again. In an effort to protect the identity of Ali S, the newspaper, Münchner Abendzeitung, referred to him by the more politically correct "Joseph T."

In a book titled, "The End of Security: Why the Police Can No Longer Protect Us," author Franz Solms-Laubach writes that German police are becoming increasingly demoralized in the face of spiraling crime. He blames German policymakers for budget cuts and staff reductions that are making it impossible for the police to do their job, namely to protect German citizens and their property.

According to Solms-Laubach, non-Germans make up roughly 10% of the German population, but they commit more than 25% of the crimes. The only solution, he argues, is that migrants must understand that if they commit crimes in Germany, they will be deported.

I would like to see a poll showing Muslims preference for Shari'ah or democracy.

Would they prefer the host country's system of courts and justice and rule of law, or Islamic Law?

Did they knowingly migrate to a country with no intention of obeying its laws?

Did the host country knowingly welcome those with no intention of obeying its laws?

The political left has ruled Germany for so long that they have become literally insane, have lost all reason and logic. More than five hundred years ago, Muslim invaders were driven from most of Europe, and now Europe is committing suicide by fiat. I used to live in Germany, and noted long ago that the populace caves to the government on all issues, no matter how incompetent and wrong government might be. America still welcomes immigrants, so, you Europeans who wish to escape the barbarism that Islam represents, take a trip across the waters, and join us in this wonderful social experiment, which has yet to lose its mind.

The solution is quite simple really: pass a law whereby a migrant offender, without a status of German citizen (no matter of type of offence, minor or serious) is expelled from Germany and deported to a country of origin. Faced with this sanction, few will take a risk of disrespecting the law.

The gravity of the existential threat we face from Islamic Jihad is truly of epic proportions. It is essentially a battle pitting free-civilized man against a totalitarian barbarian. What is at stake is the struggle for our very soul - namely who we are and what we represent. The lives that were sacrificed for individual rights and freedoms that we've come to cherish are being chiseled away from right under our noses by the stealth jihadists. And many of us are in denial and totally clueless.

The left's appeasement and pandering to evil is nothing new. What makes their utopian delusions so infuriating and unpardonable is that it is not only they who will have to pay the consequences, and deservedly, so, they are thwarting and undermining our best efforts at resistance and are thus dragging us down in the process as well.

I live in the USA. The only reason I'm aware of the horrible "migrant" situation taking place in Germany is due to a friend who lives in Ireland. The US government and the news media, both liberal and conservative, have not reported the hell these migrants are imposing on the German people. I am terrified that my country will be facing the horror that exists in Germany and probably other European countries. I spent three months in Europe in 1972, visiting 12 countries including your beautiful country. I was 21 years old. Never did I feel threatened by anyone at anytime. Thank God.

The world must stop protecting Islam, Muslim and African terrorists. I sincerely hope you will not consider my comment as "broad-brush slurring of any race, ethnic group or religion" as stated in your (below) NOTE. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it's a duck.

Germany is somewhat paranoid about their WW2 past and is sensitive to the world's opinion of their past actions. The reality is, the world has moved on and does not equate today's Germany with what happened 70 years ago.

Germany has not yet moved on and to help alleviate the German's collective psyche, Angela Merkel opened the doors to the radical Muslim world in the hope this would change the historical perceptions of Deutschland. They hope to be seen as "nice" and "doing the right thing" to make up for the Nazi era. One does not make up for past mistakes by committing suicide, but unfortunately this is what Merkel has done.

There is a major sh** storm coming to Germany because of the politically correct Muslim Invasion that is occurring. German citizens are afraid to speak out against it for fear of being labeled xenophobic, racist or worse. The police are powerless to control the Muslim mobs that have no respect for the German way of life. And the media has become the bitch of the Merkel government and is reporting that all is rainbows and sunshine with the "refugees that need our help". This is a mixture that will change Germany and the EU forever with the eventual Islamization of Europe.

When you introduce a radical element that does not integrate into society and outbreeds the hosts, the end result is inevitable. The solution is not to try and find ways to integrate the cancer into the host because the cancer has no intention of ever integrating. The solution is remove the cancer.

Allow the Syrian war refugees "refugee status". Deport every other single "economic immigrant" that only came to Germany for the "money and free stuff" at the expense of the German taxpayer unless they go through proper immigration procedures and documentation. They must have a valid reason and/or job skill to immigrate to Germany. It might be too late for this with the millions already here. The cancer has infected the body and its spreading. In 20 years I believe Merkel will be more reviled in Germany than Adolph Hitler. Sad but true.

You mean what Merkel is doing - 70% of Germans call for no more asylum seekers. 30% want Merkel to be kicked out of government, 52% are very unhappy with the government. Merkel has gone mad, unless she has a plan B and will work for borders at EU to be put up without forewarning.

Everyone I know will vote the German equivalent of Front National, AFD, unless they live in Bavaria, where the CSU is still sane. Don't know what is more scary, the masses coming in -- or being run by such a pathetic incompetent stupid government -- which doesn't even attempt to control inflow. Hopefully Merkel will soon be disposed of. She behaves like a dictator: she doesn't care what opinion polls say, ie what the people want.

I believe that when Germany is about to capitulate to these criminal waves, suddenly someone will show a "good" solution -- sharia. If German laws are not strong enough to stop this situation, it would be suggested as a "good solution". They will play with this situation until the current law goes to bankrupt. It seems that when people arrive in other countries (Western), they feel free to perpetrate all they were not permitted in their land. Is it fair to Germany to be "so generous"? It is not just a German problem, but Germany would be just a very large door through where many terrorist will go to rest of the world. I believe that the German government is to be responsible to permit that in global scale.

Germany has itself up against a wall, which is the space between a rock and a hard place. If they just shoot the refugee criminals dead, they will be called NAZIs invoking international scorn.

If the Germans don't stop the influx of immigrant refugees, they will have no culture left. You could stop it dead in its tracks if the German police just go to the houses of those 12 or so under-world Islamic families and wipe them out. There is no other way if you want immediate results to your immigration problem.

My take is shoot to kill because Muslims don't respect anything but the Koran and their Islamic faith. German citizens would only be in the way of their takeover of the manufacturing and political machine that is Germany.

Muslims are taught from a young age that it is OK to lie to anyone who is not Muslim in promoting their religious beliefs. They will lie about everything to you if you are considered an infidel, which of course 90% Germany is.

If you people do not learn to fight fire with fire, you will in the end be without a country. NOW, GET THAT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS !!!

Are these crimes being reported on social media, and what benefit is it to the German govt to keep these facts from being reported to the German people?

Are we in a science fiction tale or a warning to never go to Europe again? The world must be informed about what these Muslim vermin criminals are destroying the world. We must stop it now. We have a future here that is becoming a nightmare for anyone good and decent. European countries are held hostage. Why are the Muslims not shown as they are, behave, act, and so on? Why doesn't the media inform you, the public? They are not even informing their own citizens. Make everyone you know read this. Do you want this for your children and grandchildren? I think of the misinformed college students picketing against Israel and Jews. If the world continues on its present path, life will become impossible. It seems the Jews and Israelis are the presently only hopes and chances to save the world. Please let us all get together and demand protection and demand a cessation of allowing this Muslims refugees from holding you hostage in your own country. Wake the heck up already!

Suggestions to the German government:

As an emergency measure only (for as long as it takes):

Suspend certain elements of the human rights act, which these immigrants are exploiting.Stop the rights governing the calling forward of extended families and send all applicants back to join their families.Immediately deport all sentenced Muslim prisoners.Where riots of Muslims occur, bring in your army to back the police; kettle the rioters and then deport them without the luxury of a trial. (You may have to build prison ships to cope with the numbers).Capture and deport known gangs and treat them the same as rioters.Where threats and intimidation occur such as by Muslim shoplifters and burglars treat them the same as rioters, indeed especially when their supporters begin rioting.Under no circumstances allow members of the legal profession anywhere near them.Stop all immigration from Muslim countries.Where there is suspicion of criminal activities, close and bulldoze any mosques.Keep this up until German citizens can walk the streets without harassment then gradually reduce the draconian legislation and start allowing small numbers of genuine refugees in.

This is what you get when the government disarms the population, where they have no way to protect themselves. Just like politicians here in the US start ranting about passing gun laws to stop school shootings, when they know the shooter is mentally deranged. I wonder if Germany has a military they can bring in to help the police regain some form of law and order? It looks like the local politicians have handed the towns over to the crime lords, knowing full well what is going on. They must bow down to political correctness no matter who is hurt. All I can say is that if these thugs are allowed into the US pretending to be poor little refugees and they tangle with the police here they may go home in body bags.

The horse has already bolted. It is too late now. Weak and pathetic politicians pandering to PC and Muslims have got us where we are today! Next will be civil war. No wonder the EU hates Nigel Farage. He has been warning about mass immigration and open borders for years, but nobody listened to him!!

Western civilisation is well in progress of self-obliteration. The examples in the main article clearly illustrate this. You can't have two sets of rules/laws -- one strict(ish) for locals, the other lax for foreigners (invaders). Why are the West's governments so hell-bent on self destruction? Do they seriously believe that they are acting in the best interests of their local constituencies? How dare they.

It's only a matter of time before there is extreme right wing reaction. It will be really ugly, but it may solve the problem in the medium term.

I have never been one to subscribe to conspiracy theories, but this makes it very difficult to ignore the notion that something seems to have gone awry, all at the same time, and all in the same way. Are we being set up for some one world apocalyptic transformation? If the newspapers were writing about aliens from another galaxy landing on Western civilized nation states, it could not be any weirder than what we are expected to comprehend about the so called migrants, or refugees? or what? they're Arabs. They have to go to Arab countries. After all, those are family and that is their home and as we all know, when you go there they have to take you in. why then are we taking in these people who refuse to protect and defend their homes and their families. How was it decided this was a sensible sane notion to throw open the doors and the welfare system to a culture that despises the West, has no regard for our laws, hates our culture and won't engage in our social contract? Maybe we are all dreaming this and we are all in each other's nightmares.

Looking forward to Germans being killed and raped in their homeland. To bad they didn't keep the Jews. But wait, Arab Muslims are so much more productive than Jews. Lock your doors, stay in your house and get a gun. Have a good life.

This was so predicable, allowing and encouraging thousands of immigrates from the Middle East and Africa often many uneducated and culturally opposite to European discipline and respect. Removing border controls across Europe was a predicable Disaster. Merkel, what was in her mind allowing mass immigration, not checking who is entering the country criminals terrorists, what madness is this? Germany is now paying the price, let's hope we don't.

"According to Solms-Laubach, non-Germans make up roughly 10% of the German population, but they commit more than 25% of the crimes." Obviously this multicultural and ethnic mix does not work, and they are not integrating into Germany, with patriotic and law-abiding values. You can't just mix fish, bird or any mammals together without conflict, and clashes over values. Although human are one species, their ethnic/cultural values are far more deeply embedded than the physical differences. The host countries must put the welfare of their own people, over any misappropriated "rights" of asylum seekers.

So much for being gentler and kinder to the world's refugees. The countries think they are opening their doors to the oppressed women and children and get the 70% men that destroy and disrespect whatever is in their path. I remember a year ago that Germany had a robust economy and was a world leader in many items. How does the refuges effect their world standing now? One of the most unfortunate outcomes of this refugee influx is that the people in the cities now are captive to these thugs. The elite still don't have to deal with them personally so they just say, "let's take more". I suggest that the countries build big caged cities and put the refugees in them. Let them build their own society in the (camps) cages. Something like the movie "Escape from New York City". Starring Kurt Russel.

I understand that parts of Germany were overwhelmed with criminal activities from migrants before the recent swarms arrived. Merkel told her population that another 800,000 were welcome, whereas it is now anticipated that this figure will be doubled. We are told with the Russian activities in Syria, another 3m will be expected to leave. Can Europe expect more of the millions in camps in Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon to arrive in Europe also? Not forgetting the many from Eastern Africa, who are well-known for their criminal activities in our country. Merkel, like many politicians is insulated personally.

How can the European elites be so vapid? By allowing these immigrants in, the language and culture of European countries will soon be destroyed. This is not an alarmist view but reality. Because of radical feminism, the acceptance and push of homosexuality on a scale unheard of, and the rejection of Christianity, native Europeans will soon be strangers in their own lands. The Muslims will reproduce and the natives will wallow in their narcissistic life styles and the result will be death and destruction. Truth does not matter, what matters is what feels good at the moment. Liberal policies are deadly.

I have mixed feelings about this. Just yesterday I read a news article about over 100,000 Germans who got together to publicly demonstrate against the TTIP trade deal with the USA yesterday. Nowhere near as many of them have been demonstrating against Merkel's encouragement of this mass invasion of their country. I've even seen news footage (propaganda perhaps) of many Germans welcoming these 'migrants', offering them stuff, shaking their hands, actively participating in pro-refugee events to drown out the right wing demonstrators. I am yet to see any evidence that most Germans care enough about what's going on. It all looks a lot like apathy to me. Many seem transfixed by Merkel's lies.

These migrants should have been relocated back to the Middle East from the moment they started coming in. No one area can absorb this many immigrants all of a sudden without it seriously impacting the availability of resources and quality of life of the locals. Merkel invited them to come. What else did she think would happen? First they were saying 800,000, now its 1.5 million. Soon they will be saying 2 million, then 3 million... It will be many more than 3 million. The truth is that Germany doesn't have the financial or other resources to accommodate all of these people. No country in Europe does. There is no housing, no jobs, no anything really for them. The citizens have no weapons to defend themselves and the German police cannot protect them either. As thousands and thousands more 'migrants' arrive there the crime and violence in Germany will get much worse. They can kiss their tourism industry goodbye.

All Europeans have another big whammy coming their way. After the TTIP goes through and all the protections are removed, they will find that most of their high-paying union jobs will begin to disappear. They will become poorer, and many will find themselves unemployed. Add that to the problem of millions of refugees!

The only way that the Germans (and the rest of Europe) can reverse and resolve this mess is to vote out the liberals and put the right wingers back in charge again. Otherwise, the European continent will be vanquished by the invaders and its culture will all be gone in just a few years.

How long do you think it will be before another Fascist Government much like the Hitler regime takes hold once again in an effort to protect the German People. Germany cannot allow these savages free reign over their cities and towns without being checked.

Sadly, Angela Merkel is likely to be remembered as the woman who initiated the downfall of Christianity and Judaism in Europe. Surely, a leader whose Muslim population had already created considerable problems of violence, rape and general criminality would have expected much more when the latest flood of immigrants appeared.

There are 149 violent verses in the Qur'an, many espousing misogyny, FGM, rape, honour killing and hatred of Christians and Jews. Has Merkel never bothered to read a copy of the Qur'an? How hypocritical to criticise Viktor Orban who has actually saved his country whilst she has done her best to ruin hers and,inexcusably, most other European countries!

It says in the Quran that all Jews and Christians are thought of as liars. We are tolerant in the EU countries, so much so that we have allowed mosques to be built & Muslims to freely worship.

We are now are suffering for this democratic freedom, and the Muslims around the world are going to persecute other faiths, especially Jews. We need to all be tolerant and the Muslims need to show us respect and be as tolerant towards us, not hostile and cause trouble. We all need to live in peace, show compassion and love just like Jesus did. I worry about the world's future & for all our children who are the future. What the outcome will be is anyone's guess.

Germany has surpassed France, UK , Sweden, Holland on Muslim imigration problems, which are plaguing all Europe; what a great tragedy if Western culture is to be sacrificed for 7th Century barbarians in need to regress or suffocate? Advances in knowledge of science technology medicine space agriculture etc would fade away at a stroke from all humanity...

Breaking up the EU may help resurrect respective national pride of the constituent countries who lost it, for it is needed to regain the upper hand in shaping the future of any nation. EU, a Nazi idea from the 1941 Berlin plan brilliantly executed, has succeeded only to find a huge shift in a universe around it, rendering it malignant and able to destroy the whole creature it shaped.

UK must do a Brexit. Then Germany has to move to dissolve the EU or suffer self destruction.

Why in the world are we talking about letting thousands of these people into the United States?Our government should learn by what is happening in Europe & not allow any of these migrants to enter the U.S.They are a danger to our way of life and to our safety. Letting them in is PC taken to the level of madness.

The article is an eye opener, or at least it should be! Apparently, politicians need to be victims themselves, before anything gets done! It's the ordinary German, Swedish, and British people, as well as others, that will have their lives changed forever by the decisions of mentally deranged politicians. It's as if the politicians are saying to themselves, 'There will initially be problems with rape and theft and even murder, by some immigrants, but eventually everything will settle down and we'll all live happily together in a multicultural society'. The only thing wrong with that reasoning, is that it seems to be affecting people on the streets, and not those who live in leafy suburbs far from any immigrant centres, and hiding behind security guards and high walls. In other words, the political class of all the countries affected are okay, so they can afford to ignore the truth of what is really going on in their countries. The sort of approach and attitude that actively encourages the behaviour of many of these lawless breeds of immigrants. Most of the politicians ignoring the serious problems, no doubt turn over in their beds at night, and think that all will be better in the morning. We know it doesn't work like that and wherever they are in the EU people must question their politicians, they must ask them to do what they are paid to do, represent them! And they must be asked to question the ability and sanity of Angela Merkel, as she is the one who is ultimately putting the lives of her own people at stake, and the rest of Europe come to that!

The sad part about this whole refugee/migrant situation is that there seems to be no rule of law being applied. The EU, in order to protect their outer borders, should by now have organised a naval patrol from member nations to deter all attempts at these illegal arrivals, which have been facilitated by profiteering human traffickers; these criminals need be put out of business. Border controls and 'holding stations' should be installed at the the Mediterranean points of entry. There should be no opportunity for theses migrants to freely move on throughout Europe. Without controls, there can be no solution to the devastating migration and the legacy to Europe that brings.

It's not alright for Angela Merkel to dictate to the rest of free Europe what they should do -- where is democracy? The full consequences of this unregulated migration leaves the Western world vulnerable.

It is ridiculous that the governments that we all depend on to represent us, should hide the truth for the furtherance of their own objectives. People need to understand the levels of crimes perpetrated. Germany and Sweden have real problems with increased crime rates and it will only get worse with the huge numbers of migrants predicted still to come. As the Germans and Swedes try to stand up to these injustices, it will create hate and disharmony on a grand scale, when people feel that they are being lied to.

What is the EU doing about the migrant city of tents in Calais? It is a huge mess because of all the migrants trying to jump on to lorries and recently they organised a group to storm the EuroTunnel in order to illegally enter Britain. They should be processed properly and the "chancers" who are not true refugees should be returned to their own countries.

If these migrants gain EU citizenship, they will be able to travel freely. They are all desperate to settle in Germany and Sweden just now, but countries like Britain, Ireland and Denmark, who want to create their own response to the immigration problem will have these people coming in through the back door of free European borders as EU citizens. The welfare systems; health care and senior services that Europeans have worked so hard to create for all their lives, are at risk of collapsing under the sheer numbers of people who have never paid or contributed to, but feel entitled to demand for themselves.

I do agree with William III that we are going to see trouble brewing in every nation as the immigrants from the Middle East are trying to seek world dominance just like Adolph Hitler wanted to succeed in.

The one people who really want world dominance are the Muslims, even if they are not so radical, they don't want to be seen to condemn the extremists which they should do. They need to bring peace to the world, not seek to take over. Maybe we Westerners need to have more than 2.6 children so we can out number the Muslim people. Otherwise Enoch Powell's speech will resonate in the UK and other nations.
